How to Make Beef And Beans Cowboy Crock Pot

  1. Brown 1.5 lbs beef stew meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.

  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until beef is tender.
  4. Stir in an additional 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheddar cheese and your favorite toppings, such as green onions or sour cream. Enjoy with buttermilk biscuits!
